When Judy Byykkonen heads outside here UP North, it's rarely by herself, since she has not one, not two, but THREE four-legged friends. That's her newest pup in the top photo, who answers to the name of Giselle. She came to Judy's family via the Humane Society and by the looks of it, loves her new family and the snow that we have, too.

The other two four-legged family members in the photos are, Mandy, the big Labradoodle and Minnie, the Scottish Terrier. Judy has mentioned that when these three get to playing and running around, it gets pretty rambunctious, especially when they decide to do it in the house. The two smaller dogs, Giselle and Minnie are zipping around, under and over furniture. Then Mandy, the biggest of the three joins in, not realizing that she's much larger than the other two…it can get a bit crazy!!

Speaking of crazy…that's a good word to describe the snowfall around these parts, still. Judy also shares a couple shots of the snow that's accumulated on the trees and shrubs around her yard. At least I think that's a shrub of some sort underneath all that snow. ;-)

FOOTNOTE: Yesterday's shots from Melanie Hakala Rossi and one from Bob Gilreath were pretty interesting. If you missed them, just click here: Friday, Dec. 13th, to take a look at them!

Nothing as cool as dogs in snow!

But the Scottie is the biggest one of the bunch, just ask her! I know how Scotties think! :)

Cool pix!

I don't know about being the 'biggest', Janie, but surely the smartest...staying out of the fray.;> All are sooo cute!! Thanks for the fun shots, Judy!

Janie, all dogs consider themselves to be merely wolves in disguise!

Janie- you are correct. the Scottie is the boss. lol

Jaby, comes to no surprise! lol! Scotts have been a part of my family since 1988. :)

Great pictures, brings a good smile!

Yes, great pictures.

With all of the severe weather we have been having this winter,
the Department of Transportation issued a travel warning.
They suggest that anyone traveling in the current icy conditions
should have the following:

Shovel
Blankets or sleeping bag
Extra clothing including coats, hats and gloves
24 hours worth of food
De-icier
Rock salt
Flashlight and spare batteries
Road flares or reflective triangles
Empty gas can
Booster cables

I looked like an idiot on the bus this morning!

You're a card, Dan Belo.

LOL! I agree, Kosk!

That is so funny, Dan :-)

I recognized Judy's animals immediately. Nice pictures!
